I started as a summer associate in the summer of 2015, my 1L summer. I came through the Colorado Pledge to Diversity program, and Holland & Hart immediately made a huge impression on me. The people were so warm and welcoming. Even as a first-year law student, I dove into real, substantive work right away, and I was exposed to a large variety of work and practices, which ultimately confirmed my love for copyright and trademark law. I still talk to most of the associates in my summer clerk class and made a ton of non-clerk connections within and outside of the firm through the summer program, which I hold dear and which have helped me immensely in my career.
Since becoming a full-time associate at Holland & Hart, I remain active with the summer clerks through lunches, events, and coffees, and I love helping them navigate the summer program as well as (hopefully) coming back to the firm as an associate one day.
